My friend, Perry Gamsby, has
spent nearly 20 years experiencing the Philippines. He has
been involved in several businesses including a bar on
Malapscua island and the family piggery, been involved with
property purchases, lived in the city and in the boondocks,
worked plotting sites of interest for Philippines EZ maps,
worked for an advertising company and has appeared in
promotional videos. Perry is an expert in the Filipino
martial art, ARNIS, and has taken part in competitions in
the Philippines. He has experienced the schooling system,
medical system, transport system and life in general
throughout the Philippines. Perry has been in out of love
many times but is now happily married to a beautiful
Filipina and has several children.

I have visited Perry when he was
living in the boondocks. I have visited Perry when he was
living in the city, where he conned me into helping paint a
new boat he was building. In 2005, Perry and I got together
to make a video about dealing with traffic in Cebu City. It
is called DEFENSIVE DRIVING
and is on
page 2 of my videos.

Perry has written 6 books about
the Philippines. If you would like to benefit from his vast
knowledge, click on the book links above. A full description
of each book will be available after you click.

More than 30 outlets throughout the Philippines. It is real
Filipino food, in a classier setting than most Filipinos usually
experience, at reasonable prices. If you are a foreigner who wants
to take your new Filipino family to dinner, take them to a Gerry's
Grill!

Has nothing much to do with oranges. Yes, you can get orange
juice in an Orange Brutus but it is a restaurant chain which seems
to be only located on the province of Cebu, It has many outlets in
Cebu City. I like dining there because the food is to my liking and
is value for money.

On the corner of Sanciangko and Pelaez Streets in down town
Cebu City.

One of the best known bars in Cebu City. It was
formerly a bikini bar in the 1980's with a restaurant upstairs. The
bikini bar is long gone but the restaurant remains with a large
wooden bar where patrons sit on both sides of the bar. You can
expect to see some odd characters in Our Place but they will be the
people with the best information about Cebu City. So for the lowdown
on Cebu City, cold beer and good food at reasonable prices, Our
Place is a must visit!

Never used them myself but I have read online where many other
people have used them and were happy with the service. They deliver
gifts for free in Angeles City and for a modest fee to other parts
of the Philippines.

Website not working. The Sandtrap
is still open with new owners but no website at the moment. It is situated in Banilad, Cebu City. A popular expat hangout with
open air restaurant, tennis courts, swimming pool and club house
with billiard table.

Wine bar with live bands and dancing situated on Gorordo Avenue
in Cebu City, just near the Golden Peak Hotel.
